as for ahm - getting books disappear I'd ask all Amazon defenders to read Falling angels from Baens Free Library. Do not forget - fiction is fiction.
remember, Amazon had eBooks before the Kindle. They kept them online for purchasers to be able to redownload as needed (i.e., update the DRM). But what did Amazon do for those customers? They deleted them when they stopped selling eBooks. So people who needed to redownload due to moving to a new computer or updating the OS were screwed because the eBoosk DRM did not allow them to function. Amazon did not keep them then. And people lost what they payed for. This was before PDF could be so easily stripped of it's DRM. History repeats itself.
